The only other option might be a message saying, please wait while we connect your call, but the problem there might be that to hear that message the caller will be connected and have to pay for the call even if you do not answer the call.
Yes but in your alternative there is at least a ring. Here at the moment there is just dead air.
The old Yackie-card used your 2nd option. It took the call automatically and there was a message "connecting...please wait". This is not a good option as you already noted.

I'm sure the time to wait can be reduced. I have a landline number assigned to my cellphone in germany too (o2 genion). At the beginning it could take up to 15 seconds before it rang. Nowadays there is hardly any delay anymore.

Difference here is that you are calling to a german number and I asumen you are in germany at that moment. Take any cell phone which is roaming outside their home network and you will notice that it takes some time before the phone rings. This is probably because the call goes to your home provider which you are not logged into, than it will be forwarded to the roaming network you are in. This will cause the delay.

The option of ringing is a valid option but as I said, adding more rings can also make people hangup after 4 rings, before you answer the phone.
